Depends on the juice. For many of the fruit flavors, I've found very little difference by steeping. With creamy flavors and other bakery flavors, I've found a pronounced difference between a week to two weeks and more. My ADV needs a minimum of two weeks (a month is usually best but rarely lasts that long), so I order accordingly so that it can steep before use.

In my own opinion it's all personal preference. With the juices I vape regularly, I know which ones need to steep longer with the caps off and which ones to better with the caps on for best flavor.

Yeah, stick a 510 connection on the end of the mini and you've got a winner!

Yeah, I have arthritis in my fingers on both hands and my Q-Coiler makes building so much easier. Now that I've seen your set up, I'm kinda wishing mine had a 510 connection.

After this past year's events I would love to try this foreign concept of "bored out of my mind". LOL

Love the idea of the 510 connector to make it easier to build on. Great job!

I do realize there are many who enjoy blowing clouds. The point I was trying to make, and you evidently missed, is that not "everyone" or even "most everyone" (as you asserted), has to gravitate toward cloud blowing just because they took up vaping. Some people do and they enjoy it. Great. More power to them, I just hope they're taking the proper safety precautions. Others might not feel the need nor want to blow clouds even if they can. That's why there are tanks, RDAs, RBAs, RTAs, atomizers, cartomizers and a whole host of different delivery systems available. Isn't it great that we can like what we like and not have to do what "everyone" else does?

In my opinion, your statement above is over generalizing your belief of what "most" vapers want, what "most everyone" comes to experience. You might want to amend that to say, "most people that I know" or "most everyone within my scope of acquaintance." Otherwise, I would ask you for the concrete numbers from research, statistics, analysis, etc. Vaping is an extremely personal and individualistic experience. Everyone wants something different, something unique to their own preferences, it's not an all or nothing endeavor. Painting "everyone" with the same brush would make vaping very dull. It's the differences, the different likes and dislikes that make vaping fun. I think it's great that blowing big clouds makes you happy, but it's not something that "everyone" or even "most everyone" enjoys or needs. We all have our reasons to vape, it's subjective for everyone that I've ever come across either in person or online. As long as it keeps people from analogs, I think that's really all that matters.

Thank you for the consideration, Lord knows I need the rest. The "beauty" part didn't kick in, unfortunately.

You guys are funny. And so sweet to try to help someone so quickly.

There are a few members who are into clouds but not that many. Most of us are more into getting off analogs and staying off and helping noobs to do the same.

I second Jeff's request for a pic. Your description just doesn't give us enough information for us to be able to give you accurate information.

Now that there is one, what all do you have planned to do with it?

The more and longer you vape the more your taste buds will come back. Smoking tobacco cigarettes screws with our sense of taste and smell due to all the carcinogens. Getting off analogs will revitalize your sense of smell thus revitalizing your sense of taste. In the next month or so, especially if you get totally off cigarettes, you'll notice all kinds of new smells and flavors. Things you used to love will no longer hold the same appeal due to your senses changing. Things you may not have liked so much before will become the best thing ever due to your sense of taste and smell coming back. If you're still craving cigarettes, it's probably due to your nic level. 6 mg is very low for most who are getting off cigarettes. Most do best at 18 - 24 mg to start. Once they get off the cigarettes for a week or more, then start dropping the nic level a little at a time. Even after all this time I keep juices from 24 all the way down to 0, it all depends on what I want/need for that time. When I can't vape very often I'll hit the 24 mg so I can take a couple of puffs and get the nic I need. If I'm at home and chain vaping I'll go down to 6 mg or even sometimes down to 0 mg. An hour or two before bedtime I'll also decrease the nic level so I can sleep better. Of course your mileage may vary.

After refilling, do you check to make sure the coil didn't come loose when you unscrewed the base? I've had problems with it before so thought I'd ask. Whenever I refill, I unscrew the coil, clean it up a bit, blow through the chimney, rinse the base without the coil, replace the coil making sure it's seated properly, and then put it back together.

*leans forward toward Bebop* Okay, you can slap my forehead too. What did you use to clean the chimneys? They're so small, I can't imagine a brush that's small enough to fit...

We were lost? Welcome to Vapor Talk.

Moved. Not sure how to answer your other question, it sounds like something that Chris will have to address.

Welcome to Vapor Talk.

I still keep a couple of 5-packs of BOGE atomizers around as back ups should I run out of my supply of HH.357s. The one HH.357 that I use for fruit juices has been working well over a year now, but then again it doesn't get as much of a workout like the ones I use for my ADV.

You could always direct drip with a prebuilt atomizer, that would be a cheaper alternative and much less expensive. There is a learning curve in how to use these successfully, but it's less of a learning curve than learning all about Ohm's Law, getting an RDA, wire, wick, ohm meter, torch, etc. http://www.vapelite.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22_47&products_id=62 This is one that I learned on. These days I use an RDA but mostly, I use the Cisco Spec Hybrid HH.357 atomizers: http://www.avidvaper.com/hh-357-cisco-spec-hybrid-atomizers/ The HH.357s are not what I'd call "affordable" at a minimum of $22 each whereas the first link's atomizer is $2.50 each but you also get what you pay for.

Yeah, we'll need light to make sure we hit what we're aiming for.

And I'll just be over here ---> sharpening the tines on my pitchfork.

I'm going to be banned from Arby's when I break out in hysterical laughter that won't stop next time I try to order curly fries...
